Point Sebago Resort

8 RV Sites

Point Sebago Resort in Casco, ME, offers 5 full-hookup back-in RV sites with 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 35 feet. Sites are back-ins carrying water, sewer, electric, and cable TV. Note the electrical: this resort runs 50-amp service, so a rig wired for lighter service will need an adapter, and the 35-foot maximum keeps RVs to the smaller end. The grounds are gated, with laundry, a general store, a snack bar, on-site dining, golf cart rentals, and a dump station. The resort suggests bringing beach towels, beach chairs, a flashlight, and a jacket for cool nights — units have air conditioning but Maine evenings turn. Pets are welcome. The resort program is full-scale: a marina with boat docks, a boat ramp, boat rentals, a fishing pier, a beach, mini-golf, a clubhouse, pickleball, tennis, basketball, volleyball, bocce, shuffleboard, horseshoes, billiards, and planned activities, with golf next door. Casco sits on Sebago Lake, the largest lake in southern Maine at 46 square miles of glacier-carved water. Rates are on the booking page. Five RV sites at a resort this size means they book out for the whole summer very early.

Sun Retreats Westward Shores

25 RV Sites, 2 Cabins, 28 Cottages, 1 Lodge, 3 Park Models

Twenty-five back-in sites are premium throughout, carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 60 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. One consistent category and no guesswork. Thirty-four cabins, cottages, lodges, and park models make the lodging inventory larger than the RV side. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, and a snack bar handle the practical side. An indoor pool is the standout — genuinely valuable in New Hampshire, where the swimming season is short. A water park, outdoor pool, beach, marina, boat ramp, and boat docks sit alongside for boating, paddle boats, paddle boarding, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and fishing. A jumping pillow, craft room, ball field, sports courts, tennis, pickleball, volleyball, basketball, gaga ball, horseshoes, golf cart rentals, a playground, pavilion, dog park, on-site dining, and a bar fill the rest, with skiing and hiking nearby. The northwest shore of Ossipee Lake sits in the transition between the Lakes Region's granite-and-pine country and the White Mountain foothills, with Lake Winnipesaukee and the Kancamagus close. Summer and foliage drive demand hard. Reserve well ahead.

Tamworth Campground

51 RV Sites, 4 Onsite RV/Trailers

Confirm your tier, as the riverfront and river view categories carry water and electric but not sewer at the site. Cruiser fifth wheel and Jayco rental units, with and without slide-outs, round out the lodging for guests without a rig. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. A beach, lake, pond, and river anchor the recreation, supporting boating, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, and swimming. A pavilion, playground, and horseshoes fill the rest, with hiking in every direction and planned activities through the season. Pets are welcome. Carroll County sits in the southern foothills of the White Mountains, where the granite peaks of the Sandwich Range, the Chocorua Lake basin's extraordinary scenery, and White Lake State Park's spring-fed swimming make one of New Hampshire's most photographed corners. North Conway and the Kancamagus are close. Summer and foliage season drive intense demand in the White Mountains. Reserve well ahead for July through mid-October.

Riverbend Campground

23 RV Sites, 2 Tent Sites

Riverbend Campground in Leeds, ME, offers 23 RV sites and 2 tent sites, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and back-in sites for rigs up to 40 feet.

All carry water and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table. There's no sewer at the site, so plan on the on-site dump station. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, propane fills and exchange, and a pavilion cover the essentials. Pets are welcome.

Leeds sits at 1540 Route 106 in Androscoggin County, twenty miles west of Augusta, where the Dead River borders the campground before flowing into Androscoggin Lake — a river-to-lake connection that makes the water frontage unusually useful. A state park and golf are nearby. Rates for sites and tent spots are on the booking page. Waterfront sites book first.

Terrace Pines Campground

24 RV Sites, 7 Cabins, 1 House

Sites are grouped into 30/50-amp standard off-water and standard waterfront tiers, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with a fire pit and picnic table. The waterfront sites are the ones worth asking for. The 35-foot maximum makes this a mid-size-rig campground rather than a big-coach property.

Pemi Cabins

Along the Pemigewasset River in Lincoln, New Hampshire—at the foot of the White Mountains in Grafton County where the Franconia Notch corridor concentrates the most dramatic granite mountain scenery in New England and where the Pemi's river sound, the mountain air, and the proximity of 800,000 acres of White Mountain National Forest create the outdoor setting that Lincoln's lodging community has built its identity around—Pemi Cabins offers 18 one and two-bedroom cabins with fireplaces, screened porches overlooking the river, kitchens, high-speed WiFi, and flat-screen TVs, alongside an outdoor pizza oven, fire pits, picnic tables, park grills, a shuffleboard court, complimentary morning coffee, and direct snowmobile trail access with trailer parking—pet-friendly and open year-round in a riverside cabin property where 14 of the 18 units sit directly on the Pemigewasset and the White Mountain National Forest's trail network begins within walking distance. The river is under the porch. The mountain is the view. The 18 cabins—14 of which sit directly on the Pemigewasset River—provide the one and two-bedroom configurations with fireplaces for the cool White Mountain nights, screened porches where the river sound creates the sleep environment that Lincoln's lodging competition charges extra for, full kitchens with the equipment for self-catering the week's meals, and the WiFi and flat-screen TVs that the modern cabin guest requires regardless of how completely the mountain setting absorbs the daytime hours. The outdoor pizza oven, communal fire pits, picnic tables, park grills, and shuffleboard court create the shared outdoor social infrastructure that a cabin community needs when the individual units' porches aren't enough space for the evening gathering. Complimentary morning coffee, the pet-friendly policy, and the snowmobile trail access with trailer parking extend the practical hospitality across seasons and travel styles. Lincoln sits in Grafton County at the foot of Franconia Notch on I-93, at the southern gateway to the White Mountain National Forest's most visited corridor. The Pemigewasset Wilderness—the 45,000-acre roadless area south of Franconia Notch that the Wilderness Act protects in one of the largest wilderness designations in the Northeast—creates the backcountry hiking and fishing environment that the Pemi Cabins' location at the wilderness edge makes immediately accessible from the riverside property. The Pemigewasset River's east and west branch confluence in Lincoln creates the main stem that flows south through the Pemi Valley toward Plymouth and the Lakes Region. Franconia Notch State Park, 5 miles north on I-93, concentrates the White Mountains' most iconic attractions in the 8-mile granite notch—the Flume Gorge's 800-foot natural chasm with boardwalks and covered bridges along the Flume Brook, the aerial tramway to Cannon Mountain's 4,080-foot summit, Echo Lake's swimming beach and mountain reflections, and the Basin's pothole-carved granite bowl at the base of a waterfall. Loon Mountain Resort, 3 miles east of Lincoln on the Kancamagus Highway, operates ski lifts from December through March and mountain biking and the gondola scenic ride from May through October. The 34-mile Kancamagus Highway east through the national forest to Conway delivers the most scenic fall foliage drive in New Hampshire during October's peak color weeks. Pemi Cabins operates year-round in the White Mountains' four-season climate—the winter snowmobile season from January through March on the groomed trail network accessed directly from the property, the spring and summer hiking and river season from May through September, and the October foliage peak that makes the Franconia Notch corridor one of New England's most photographed autumn landscapes. Reserve your riverside cabin at Pemi Cabins and let the Pemigewasset River's sound, the Franconia Notch backdrop, and Lincoln's White Mountain National Forest position deliver the four-season New Hampshire mountain experience that the screened porch and the fireplace were built to frame.

Winni Lakefront Cabin

1 Cabin

The Lake Winnipesaukee Lakefront Cabin in Holderness, New Hampshire, is a secluded three-bedroom lakefront cabin retreat with excellent amenities, a private dock slip, and a protected cove setting in Grafton County — a premium cabin property on one of the most celebrated lakes in New England, positioned at the southern end of the Lake Winnipesaukee watershed where the Squam Lake's quiet beauty, the lake's 28,000-acre surface, and the Mount Washington Scenic Railroad give the Holderness area the specific Lakes Region character of the New Hampshire vacation landscape that has drawn the summer cottage and resort market for 150 years. Holderness's Grafton County position at the confluence of Squam Lake and the Pemigewasset River gives the cabin its specific location on the Squam-Winnipesaukee corridor — the two lakes that together define the New Hampshire Lakes Region's most iconic vacation landscape. A three-bedroom lakefront cabin with a private dock slip and the protected cove amenities give the Winni Lakefront Cabin the premium summer vacation accommodation that New Hampshire's most beloved lake specifically sustains for the family or group that wants the complete Lakes Region lake experience in a private, fully-equipped cabin rather than the campground or resort hotel alternative — the private dock's boat access, the protected cove's swimming safety, and the three-bedroom capacity for the multi-family summer vacation group give the Holderness cabin its specific premium Lakes Region character. Pets are welcome. Lake Winnipesaukee, 28,000 acres of the Lakes Region's centerpiece lake in Belknap, Carroll, and Grafton Counties, is the largest lake in New Hampshire and one of the most visited lakes in New England — a glacially scoured lake with 365 islands (one for each day of the year, as the local tourism marketing has noted for over a century), 283 miles of shoreline, and a central position in the New Hampshire summer vacation economy that the resort communities of Wolfeboro, Meredith, Center Harbor, and Weirs Beach have sustained since the Boston and Maine Railroad's 19th-century service to Laconia gave the Boston market its first accessible New England lake resort destination. Squam Lake, immediately north of Holderness and the setting for the 1981 Academy Award-winning film "On Golden Pond," is the New Hampshire Lakes Region's most pristine and least-developed major lake — a 6,791-acre lake of uncommon clarity and the loon nesting population that the Squam Lakes Science Center's loon research program specifically monitors in the region's most recognized symbol of the New Hampshire wild lake. The Squam Lakes Natural Science Center's live animal exhibits in Holderness, with the mountain lion, the bobcat, the raptors, and the native New Hampshire wildlife in natural enclosures, give the lakeside location its wildlife education complement to the lake recreation. The Lake Winnipesaukee Lakefront Cabin serves guests through New Hampshire's Lakes Region summer season from late May through early October, with the peak season from the 4th of July through Labor Day sustaining the maximum demand for the private lakefront cabin accommodations that the Holderness cove position and the Squam-Winnipesaukee corridor give the property. The Mount Washington Cruise on Lake Winnipesaukee from Weirs Beach gives the lake the scenic steamship excursion tradition that the M/S Mount Washington has operated since 1872 in one of the longest continuously operated inland lake cruise services in the United States. Reserve the cabin well ahead — many months in advance for the peak summer season.
